Prompted by CynicalGabe’s tailgater thread: Are you an Aggressive Driver or a Smooth Operator?
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration developed this test to help people examine their own driving behaviors. Take the test to examine your own driving behavior.
I only rated a Fair.
I rate ‘Excellent’ on the test. Only one ‘No.’
I rated a Good, although I do wish there was more choice than “yes” or “no” Most of the ones I checked yes for, in the interest of honesty, are very occurences.
I got a “Good” rating, but the test is pretty subjective (“Maintaining an appropriate distance,” etc.) and easy to manipulate.
Woo-hoo! I’m “excellent”!
Of course, my *desires * are another thing. But since I drive a Mini, I *have * to be nice. . .
I rated ‘excellent’.
I think I already know the answer to this but I’ll try it out anyway.
Huh, “Good.” I thought I would have done better. Well, I’ll just try harder at being an aggressive jerk.
I rated an “Excellent”, but, like you, I did wish for more categories, such as Always, Usually, Sometimes, Rarely, and Never.
That’s why I hesitated to start this thread.
I got “Excellent” by the way. Of course, I’ve only had a license for six years so the practices my driving test are still ingrained.
I got a “good.” I can sometimes be an aggressive driver, but not in an inconsiderate way, like many other people I encounter.
How’d you guys get Good or Excellent? I got a suspended license.
I only had one no, but it was because the headlights in my car come on automatically. I suppose I could turn them off, but it’s a small unobtrusive car and there are lots of Big Dogs with cell phone implants around here.
I rated a Fair.
I agree with The Weird One. It’s more a test of “Do you think you’re a good driver?”…how do you know what to answer for “Drive below posted speed limits when conditions warrant”? (It’s also America-centric at times) FWIW, I got ‘good’ (is being willing getting out of the way of agressive drivers supposed to be good or bad? 
)
I got a good, but like other people, I wish there was a scale. I was forced to answer yes to a few, like “do you pass always on the left” and so forth. Because while sometimes I pass on the right if the guy ashead of me decides to go 55 in a 65, I usually don’t. I always try to apss on the left, but like I said, if that guy isi n the left lane, not budging a bit, and the right lane is the only other option, I’m gonna take it.
Poor.
(But I don’t actually have my own car, and I play a lot of Grand Theft Auto.)
I got a ‘good’, I was surprised to see. I am a very good driver, very considerate, but I do speed (a bit) and it’s *not * illegal to pass in the right lane here, it’s not!
I scored excellent. If there had been options other than “yes” or “no” I probably would have come in at “fair.”
I got fair. I’m aggressive, but non-confrontational.
